This thread is dedicated exclusively to those
wanting to express their gratitude and thank somebody, expresses full happiness with ending.

Nothing controversial or abusive ! Negative comments and remarks forbidden.

For example:
- you could thank a thief for returning your gear

-thank for giving you free lift when your car crashed or get flat

-your girlfriend left you but you just found even nicer one

-you crash harsh on the water but your GPS survived and show you PB speed

- you found 5 dollar coin in the sand on the beach

- meteorite strike and miss your shed by a meters to strike your neighbor garage instead

-thank somebody for free food , clothes and shelter if your house suddenly burned down

PS> Lets try to avoid thanks here to HM* as we not all believers (or we leave that matter to personal preferences)

*HM stands for High Majore Forces

Macro, I'd like to thank..... you.

For all your effort and all your thoughts, but mainly just for being Macro.

1,000 apologies for my misunderstood sarcastic tone in the past, never meant to be typed in hate, only ever in jest. And jest with you, not at you.

Having said that I am not at all interested in any sort of happy ending you may be offering.





oh yeah, ... nearly forgot.......if my sail says it needs a 430 mast and I only have a 460, then how long is the piece of string I need.

..and if a foil foils does anyone know why a fin doesn't fin ?

My wife went out in my car, which is specifically for my foiling gear , in high risk weather.
Fortunately, made it home with car in tack.

A huge shout out to F____ for graciously giving me a near pristine shooter a couple of days ago. We hardly even know each other but there it is, in my hot hands awaiting the next decent swell!

I am happy I could help you with sound advice !

I had similar problem with Severne Overdrive 7.8m2 asking 460cm mast and thirty something extension

but i did broke all my 100% carbon 460 already

but I had spare 490cm that I did not use almost at all for 8.6

so I did set 7.8 on 490cm with almost nil extension

a bit stiffer, but it works fine on 7.8

till it brakes too

so I reach to my shed for backup and found mast 460cm that was stack together for 10 years already

now I carry this on top of my HiLux , in one piece

didn't brake so far

since I am going foiling recently smaller size may works too, NP 430 still alive

so my advice is GO FOILING NOW ! foil may works with anything on hand ( I hope but not so sure , still learning)

or WINGING
! Problem solved Happy ending guarantied !

This lady pub owner
would like to thank ( who ? exactly? ) .....
for meteorite missing her bar by meters
while striking the Earth
yep, that was my crew on the spaceship
called to take me home after flooding.
All aboard drunk and missed my farm by 500 km!
next one Star-Uber is only few light years away ! Good news in the end. Should be here any minute.

and the good news all my mates survived the crash (although the saucer is lost on impact)
I did take them home, to my farm

They like cattle too,...

They got rid of border quarantine in NZ.

And they've hit a new all-time-high for daily case numbers!

Double win.

Back to Macro's happiness thread:

I was sad its first day of autumn, and for the first time in months there was a little spitting drizzle here... just briefly. It made me sad

Then a I realised I'm not running from my house to a neighbouring country, to drop off the wife and kids then told to go home and pick up a rifle.

AND NO - not an attempt to start that crap again that gets us all banned. Lets be happy we are in the most geopolitically stable country in the world with no borders with others.

Drove past a house today of some random whos house had gone underwater up to the ceiling.
Stopped to have a chat, all he had left was the shirt and jocks he was wearing when he went to bed that night and woke up with his bed floating.
Spent the arvo helping him scrape the mud out of his house.
Makes the whole 1st world problems of people complaining about the under moderation on SB general forum seem very insignificant and stupid.

More rain on the way, stay safe people.
Awesome to see how many people are helping out those who went under. Aussie mateship at its best.

How did you make that all about you?
Was about the general complaints on SB about the mods from kitekid actually. And it is stupid and not worth worrying about. Thats a happy thing.
meh..... Ive been sucked into you looking to argue once again, not worth it and very insignificant with whats happening out in the real world atm.

I have very good news!
People complaining here , on this thread could be banned and go fishing now !

When fishing, you could catch magic golden in first throw.

Gold Magic Fish could make your 3 wishes:

1. Your first wish should be cancelling ban on SB, so you can come back here GRANTED

2. Your second wish will be probably something like: Let's xxx brake the leg now

3. The last of your wishes is most obvious to guess.
You ask magic fish : Make this thing here 2x longer! No, 3 times longer or 4. GRANTED

OOOPS ! YOU DIDNT ASK FISH TO DARKEN YOUR SKIN SAME TIME. TOO LATE. NO FOURTH WISHES LEFT.
Welcome back to SB BBC !!

Yes, very good news for you ! You could have it all for $5
and even share with your enemy ( since you don't have any friends left

even worse news - you need to drive at the bottom of the ocean to pickup one from Wendy's overseas


Our Australian Wendy's is strictly vegetarian ! ( that is possibly good news too, I don't know, but my cattle are sure so)




Lets do a deal,. One cone for you , and one for my cattle Ben
